Welcome to “Paranormal Night Shift,” the podcast that delves into the eerie world of the night shift. Join us as we explore the things that only those who work the late hours truly understand. From the mysterious bumps in the night to the spine-chilling encounters, we are the ones who go bump back.
In this episode, our host, a security guard at a local medical college, shares a haunting tale from the pandemic nights. With the campus deserted and staff working remotely, he found himself alone on the night shift. His partner and close friend, Calvin, a seasoned guard, fell ill, leaving him to face the dark corridors and unsettling cadavers on his own.
One fateful July night, a thunderstorm brought darkness to the college as the power went out. With only a flashlight to guide him, our host had to manually secure every door on the top floor, where eerie sounds and movements unsettled him. But then, an unexpected encounter changed everything. Calvin appeared by his side, ready to help, even though he had passed away the previous night.
Join us as we explore this chilling tale and share your own paranormal experiences with us. Do spirits still watch over us after they’re gone? Tune in to find out.

Sun’s going down to your clock
and and here’s some things that
2
00:00:03,280 –> 00:00:04,880
only night shift will
understand.
3
00:00:05,280 –> 00:00:07,960
There are things that go bump in
the night and we are the people
4
00:00:07,960 –> 00:00:10,200
that go bump back.
These are your fans.
5
00:00:10,200 –> 00:00:11,680
Submitted ghost stories told
here.
6
00:00:11,800 –> 00:00:13,680
Let’s get right to it.
I’ll write Sam.
7
00:00:13,680 –> 00:00:16,160
I’m a security guard at a local
Medical College.
8
00:00:16,200 –> 00:00:18,000
It’s always been kind of busy at
night.
9
00:00:18,000 –> 00:00:21,160
But when the pandemic hit a lot
of that changed.
10
00:00:21,360 –> 00:00:23,960
Staff and students both were
doing virtual learning and
11
00:00:23,960 –> 00:00:26,290
teaching.
So now on the night shift, I was
12
00:00:26,290 –> 00:00:27,890
just left with me and my
partner.
13
00:00:28,450 –> 00:00:30,650
Calvin was an older guy.
He had been doing the job
14
00:00:30,650 –> 00:00:33,610
forever, and he and I became
really good friends.
15
00:00:33,930 –> 00:00:36,250
We’d sit in the guard tower
together and just talk.
16
00:00:36,690 –> 00:00:40,250
Now it’s a Medical College, so
there were cadavers upstairs,
17
00:00:40,250 –> 00:00:41,810
and Calvin knew I didn’t like
him.
18
00:00:42,210 –> 00:00:44,970
But he had been doing this job
so long, I guess he had kind of
19
00:00:45,410 –> 00:00:48,450
grown accustomed to it.
He’d go do the rounds upstairs
20
00:00:48,450 –> 00:00:51,570
and I’d sweep the parking lot in
the downstairs and there was
21
00:00:51,570 –> 00:00:54,680
never really any issues.
Well, like I said, this all
22
00:00:54,680 –> 00:00:57,000
happened during coke.
Calvin was an older gentleman
23
00:00:57,000 –> 00:01:02,440
and Calvin got sick, which left
me doing the job by myself for a
24
00:01:02,440 –> 00:01:04,640
while.
I hated going up there.
25
00:01:05,280 –> 00:01:07,680
I’d run through it as quick as I
could, and I know I probably
26
00:01:07,680 –> 00:01:11,360
wasn’t keeping anything locked
or safe like I should be, but I
27
00:01:11,360 –> 00:01:14,000
still had to do it.
One night in July, there was a
28
00:01:14,080 –> 00:01:17,680
horrible thunderstorm and the
power went out, which meant now
29
00:01:17,680 –> 00:01:21,480
I had to go through and manually
lock and check every single
30
00:01:21,480 –> 00:01:23,550
door.
Going up on that top floor with
31
00:01:23,550 –> 00:01:26,470
a little bit of light is scary
enough, but now it’s pitch
32
00:01:26,470 –> 00:01:28,990
black.
I head up to that top floor and
33
00:01:28,990 –> 00:01:31,590
I can hear doors being locked
and I can.
34
00:01:31,910 –> 00:01:35,190
I can hear things moving.
Shine my flashlight down the
35
00:01:35,190 –> 00:01:37,550
hall thinking I’m going to see
something terrible and it’s
36
00:01:37,870 –> 00:01:39,870
familiar face.
Hey buddy.
37
00:01:40,310 –> 00:01:41,910
Just thought I’d come help you
out tonight.
38
00:01:41,990 –> 00:01:44,830
What are you doing here, Calvin?
You’re supposed to be at home.
39
00:01:45,310 –> 00:01:48,630
Well, I knew it was going to be
rough tonight and I just wanted
40
00:01:48,630 –> 00:01:51,510
to help you out.
I was definitely thrown off, but
41
00:01:51,960 –> 00:01:54,000
I hadn’t worked with anybody in
three weeks.
42
00:01:54,000 –> 00:01:57,280
He had been at home, so it was
kind of nice to see her familiar
43
00:01:57,280 –> 00:01:59,960
face.
We sat and talked for about an
44
00:01:59,960 –> 00:02:02,920
hour, and then I must have
fallen asleep because I remember
45
00:02:02,920 –> 00:02:05,680
waking up to the phone ringing.
It was about 7:00 in the
46
00:02:05,680 –> 00:02:07,120
morning.
My shift was over.
47
00:02:07,520 –> 00:02:10,759
I gathered my stuff and answered
the phone, and it was Calvin’s
48
00:02:10,759 –> 00:02:13,080
wife.
She had called to tell me that
49
00:02:13,080 –> 00:02:14,760
Calvin had passed away last
night.
50
00:02:15,240 –> 00:02:18,360
She knew that we were close and
just thought I should know.
51
00:02:18,820 –> 00:02:21,660
Immediately started freaking out
and checking the security tapes
52
00:02:21,660 –> 00:02:25,580
and sure enough he wasn’t there.
But all the doors on that top
53
00:02:25,580 –> 00:02:28,940
floor were secure and locked.
A good story.
54
00:02:28,980 –> 00:02:31,860
I love that story because you
hear a lot of them of people’s
55
00:02:32,220 –> 00:02:35,580
grandparents or or parents
coming to visit them right after
56
00:02:35,580 –> 00:02:39,740
they passed, kind of doing their
final good deed before they pass
57
00:02:39,740 –> 00:02:41,580
on.
